My wife, myself, and my 6 week old baby girl were driving back to Colorado from Iowa where we had spent christmas with our family. The new 99 Chevy Blazer trailblazer edition that was just one week old to us started acting funny. We we're pulling off on an exit to change the baby and feed her when I noticed my tachometer was jumping up to 4 and 5 K RPM. So I look in my mirrors and notice this white cloud of smoke behind us. No warning lights were on, my temp gauge was reading normal, we had no warning of what was to come. I immediately stopped the vehicle on the side of the road to see if I had blown the tranny or something like that. When I did that, then my check engine light came on and my battery light. I got out of the vehicle only to smell electrical smoke. I got my wife and 6 week old baby out of the vehicle and by the time I looked back the one week old Blazer that we had just purchased was in flames!!! when all was said and done the entire engine was a smoldering pile of steel, the dash and steering wheel had melted away, the front seats were 3/4 gone and all of our christmas gifts, baby cloths, toys, luggage, ect, were all severely smoke, fire and water damaged. The vehicle is totaled along with all of our belongings and I had no warning what so ever.
